How to choose glass wool products suitable for specific environments?


2025-03-19

  Selecting the appropriate glass wool product for a specific environment requires consideration of the environment's acoustic requirements, temperature, humidity, and other conditions, as well as the performance and cost of the glass wool. The following are specific selection points:
  Consider the acoustic requirements of the environment
  Based on noise frequency: If the environmental noise is mainly high-frequency, such as conversations and high-frequency equipment operation in schools and offices, glass wool with a smaller fiber diameter and relatively low density can be selected. This type of glass wool has a better absorption effect on high-frequency noise. If there is more low-frequency noise in the environment, such as the vibration of large equipment in factory workshops and the rumbling of subways, then glass wool with greater thickness and higher density should be selected, or a multi-layer glass wool composite structure should be used to enhance the absorption and blocking of low-frequency noise.
  Based on noise reduction needs: For places with extremely high acoustic environment requirements, such as recording studios and concert halls, the glass wool needs to have an extremely high sound absorption coefficient. Glass wool products with excellent sound absorption performance, professional acoustic testing and certification should be selected. The thickness and installation method of the glass wool should be accurately calculated according to the specific acoustic design requirements. For general noise reduction needs, such as ordinary residences and commercial offices, glass wool with conventional sound absorption performance can be selected. Good noise reduction effects can also be achieved through reasonable installation and arrangement.
  Consider other environmental conditions
  Temperature conditions: In high-temperature environments, such as industrial kilns and boiler rooms, high-temperature resistant glass wool products should be selected to ensure that they maintain stable physical and sound absorption properties at high temperatures without deformation, melting, or performance degradation. In low-temperature environments, the anti-freezing performance of glass wool should be considered to prevent the glass wool from becoming brittle and cracking due to low temperatures, affecting its use.
  Humidity conditions: In humid environments, such as basements and swimming pools, glass wool with moisture-proof performance should be selected, such as glass wool that has undergone moisture-proof treatment or has a moisture-proof coating, to prevent the glass wool from absorbing too much water and reducing sound absorption performance, or even causing mildew and rot.
  Space conditions: If the installation space is limited, such as the interlayers and pipe wells of some buildings, glass wool products with thinner thickness but better sound absorption performance should be selected, or special installation methods should be used, such as making the glass wool into thin plates or rolls for installation. If the space is sufficient, such as large industrial plants and stadiums, glass wool with greater thickness can be selected to fully exert its sound absorption and noise reduction effect.
  Consider the performance characteristics of glass wool
  Density and thickness: Density and thickness are important factors affecting the sound absorption performance of glass wool. Generally speaking, the greater the density and thickness, the better the sound absorption effect, but the cost will also increase accordingly. Under the premise of meeting the sound absorption requirements, the appropriate density and thickness should be selected by comprehensively considering cost and installation conditions.
  Environmental performance: For places where people stay for a long time, such as residences, schools, and offices, environmentally friendly glass wool products that meet relevant national standards should be selected to ensure that indicators such as formaldehyde release are within a safe range and will not harm human health.
  Fire performance: In places with high fire prevention requirements, such as shopping malls, hotels, and hospitals, glass wool with good fire prevention performance must be selected, such as non-combustible or flame-retardant glass wool, to improve the fire safety level of the building.
